I will in my life possess no
greater pride than to one day at the end of my life be able to say: I have won
for the German Reich the German worker!
Speech of May 10, 1933 in
Berlin
It will be the firm goal of
the movement, which I and my fellow fighters represent, to elevate the word
„worker” to the German nation’s great title of honor.
Speech of May 10, 1933 in
Berlin
Against him (the worker) no
state should be formed, no, it should rise with him!
Speech of May 10, 1933 in
Berlin
I lead the struggle for the
million masses of our good, industrious, working, productive folk.
Speech of November 10, 1933 in
Berlin
The appeal must be directed
ever anew to the nation and socialist feeling.
Speech of April 17, 1934 in
Berlin
The social idea (must) be the
unconditional fundament in a state, otherwise a state cannot hold out in the
long-run.
Speech of April 12, 1922 in
Munich
Genuine socialism, however, is
the doctrine of strictest fulfillment of duty,
Appendix to „Adolf Hitler’s
Speeches“: Adolf Hitler’s Sayings
If...the word socialism is
supposed to have any meaning at all, then it can only have the one, with iron
justice, that means in the deepest insight, to burden each - in terms of the
preservation of the entirety - with that, which is appropriate to him thanks to
his born talent and hence his worth.
Speech of September 3, 1933 in
Nuremberg
For the German worker we
National Socialists will from now on open the path to that, which he can demand
and claim.
Reply to Weis (SPD) in the
Reichstag on March 23, 1933
This broad folk...is certainly
often ponderous and is certainly in many regards backward and not so nimble,
not so witty and not so intellectual. But it has something: It has loyalty, it has
perseverance, it has stability.
Speech of May 10, 1933 in
Berlin
Whoever wants to find loyalty
and faith, confidence, fanaticism and persistent devotion, must go where these
virtues are still to be found; but they are only to be found in the broad mass
of this folk. Only there dominates this faithful trust, this blind devotion,
this attachment and this heroic courage to stand up for an ideal.
Speech of February 26, 1934 in
Munich
The German worker is just like
our peasant industrious and loyal!
Speech to the folk comrades in
Danzig of May 17, 1933
If we want to endure as a
community, then we must overcome what divides!
Speech of March 4, 1933 in
Konigsberg
Genuine socialism is the
highest folkdom!
Appendix to „Adolf Hitler’s
Speeches”: Adolf Hitler’s Sayings
One may be active wherever -
and should and must never forget that his folk comrade, who fulfills his duty
just like him, is indispensable, that the nation does not exist through the
work of a government, of a specific class or through the work of its
intelligentsia, rather that it only lives through the common and harmonious
work of all!
Speech of May 1, 1933 in
Berlin
There is no socialism, which
does not have the strength of intellect at its disposal, no social joy, which
is not protected by the strength of a nation, yes, obtains its prerequisites.
Appeal for the election of
July 31, 1932
On the day when both ideas
(nationalism and socialism) merge into a single one, they are invincible.
Appeal for the election of
July 31, 1932
So, May 1-st can in the life
of folks only be a glorification of the national, creative will as opposed to
the international idea of decomposition, of the liberation of the national
spirit and also the economic removal of international contamination. That is in
the final analysis the question of the rejuvenation of folks.
Speech of May 1, 1923 in
Munich
We National Socialists (have)
in long work...created in our factory cell institution the organizational
prerequisite in order to not allow the armies of German workers, through the
smashing of the old, to fall into a leaderless, disorganized confusion, rather
to lead them determined with a firm hand into the world of the new facts.
Speech of January 30, 1934 in
Berlin
If we win the German worker
for the state, then we will also keep him as an indestructible fundament for
the new Germany. I am hence of the conviction that our „Work Front” will one
day be a pillar of the new Reich.
Speech of May 16, 1934 in
Berlin
The „German Work Front” must secure
work peace in that understanding is created among the factory managers for the
justified claims of their following and among the followers understanding is
created for the situation and possibilities of their factory.
Decree concerning the „German Work
Front” of October 24, 1934
I want...to wish to the great
„German Work Front” that its leadership and all its members never lose faith,
come what may.
Speech of May 16, 1934 in
Berlin
They must learn to respect
each other again, the worker of the mind the worker of the fist and vice versa.
Both belong together and from the both of them must a new man crystalize - the
man of the coming German Reich.
Speech of April 24, 1923 in
Munich
It is necessary to teach each
stratum the important of the other.
Speech of May 1, 1933 in
Berlin
The productive people,
however, regardless whether worker of the mind or of the fist, are the noble
folk of our state, that is the German folk!
Speech of April 12, 1922 in
Munich
Especially the trained German worker
is surpassed by no other force in the world.
Speech of May 1, 1934 in
Berlin
There are many tens of
thousands among us, who want to make the respect for the individual dependent
on the kind of work he performs. No, not what he does, rather how he does it,
must be decisive.
Speech of May 1, 1933 in
Berlin
What we want is not a state of
drones, rather a state, which gives to each that to which he has a right on the
basis of his activity. Whoever does not honestly work, should not be a state
citizen.
Speech of April 24, 1923 in
Munich
The German folk of the future
should give no citizen pensions for doing nothing, but give each the
possibility to earn his own bread through honest work and thus help and
contribute to the raising of the living standard of all.
Speech of March 21, 1934 in
Unterhaching
Furthermore, it is clear to
the national government that the final elimination of the distress of both the
agricultural as well as the urban economy depends on the integration of the
army of unemployed into the production process. Herein lies the...greatest
economic task. It can only be solved through a gradual satisfaction amid
execution of healthy, natural, economic principles and all measures, which are
necessary, even if they, seen from the moment, cannot reckon with any
popularity. Creating employment and work service obligation are hereby only
individual measures within the framework of the overall attack.
Speech of March 23. 1933 in
Berlin
We take here (for the
elimination of unemployment) paths, for which there is hardly a historical
precedent.
Proclamation of September 1,
1933 in Nuremberg
In a quarter of the time I
allotted myself before the March election, one third of the unemployed have
again been given useful work; the attack proceeded concentric from all sides
and only thus enabled success.
Speech of January 30, 1934 in
Berlin
A certain percentage of
unemployed will always remain in a folk of sixty-five million. Even before the
war, we had unemployment of about 800,000 people. If we manage to reduce the
number of unemployed to about a million, then we can view the problem of
unemployment as solved. Our whole work is initially directed fully toward this
work.
Speech of April 17, 1934 in
Berlin
A certain load is supposed to
be intentionally placed on a portion of the folk, so that it thereby helps to
make the distress of the other part more bearable.
Proclamation of the Winter
Help Work 1934/1935 on October 6, 1934
The success of the „Winter
Help Work” is not only to be observed domestically, rather also discernible in
foreign countries. It is difficult to say how many thousands of foreigners have
precisely through this social relief work become directly convinced of the
value of the new order in Germany... A large part of the mood shift in the
world can be traced to the successes of the National Socialist revolution, but
especially to the „Winter Help Work”. For from it grew the realization of the
towering social significance of the National Socialist idea in our fatherland.
Speech of April 17, 1934 in
Berlin
Our task is: work, work and
still more work! From the success of the creation of employment we will obtain
the strongest authority.
Speech of March 20, 1934 in
Munich
If in a state only the person
who works honesty is a state citizen, then each also the right to demand that
in his old age care and need are kept far away from him. Then the greatest
social deed is accomplished.
Speech of April 24, 1923 in
Munich
The national
government...recognizes as its historical task to support and promote the
millions of German workers in the struggle for the rights of their existence.
As Chancellor and National Socialist I feel bound to them as the former
companions of my youth. The increase of the purchasing power of these masses
will be an essential means for the economic recovery. Under preservation of our
social legislation, the first step in its reform will be undertaken.
Fundamentally, however, the utilization of the whole work force in the service
of the entirety should follow. The idleness of millions of human work hours is
an insanity and a crime, which must lead to the impoverishment of all.
Regardless what assets would be created through a utilization of our surplus
labor force, they would be able to represent indispensable life goods for
millions of people, who today subsist in need and misery. The organizational
ability of our folk must and will succeed in solving this question.
Speech of March 23, 1933 in
Berlin
We have given ourselves above
all a gigantic task: to lead back the German worker into the German nation. If
in the future the question is put to us: „What do you deem to be your greatest
accomplishment?”, then I can only say, that we managed to again integrate the
German worker into the German nation and to make clear to him: The nation is
not a concept in which you have no share, rather you yourself are the bearer of
the nation, you belong to it, you cannot separate yourself from it, your life
is bound to the life of your whole folk, which is not just the root for your
strength as well, rather also the root for your life!
Speech of October 24, 1933 in
Berlin
That makes us proud that we
again led into the folk, and hence made bearers of the national idea, countless
millions of people, who went off to the side, in part full of envy, in part
looking with hatred at the portion designating itself „national”.
Speech of October 24, 1933 in
Berlin
